The famous structure located in Cairo is the Great Pyramid of Giza. This ancient wonder is one of the three pyramids built in the Giza pyramid complex and is the largest of the three, originally standing at about 146.6 meters (481 feet) tall. Constructed around 2580–2560 BCE for the Pharaoh Khufu, the Great Pyramid served as a tomb and a testament to the Egyptians' architectural prowess. It was originally covered in casing stones that reflected sunlight, giving it a brilliant appearance. Today, the Great Pyramid is the last surviving wonder of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and remains a popular tourist attraction, symbolizing ancient Egyptian civilization.
